QuickTime Movie Parser Filter

  • Article

[The feature associated with this page, DirectShow, is a legacy feature. It has been superseded by MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine, and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation. Those features have been optimized for Windows 10 and Windows 11. Microsoft strongly recommends that new code use MediaPlayer, IMFMediaEngine and Audio/Video Capture in Media Foundation instead of DirectShow, when possible. Microsoft suggests that existing code that uses the legacy APIs be rewritten to use the new APIs if possible.]

This component has been removed from Windows Vista and later operating systems. It is available for use in the Microsoft Windows 2000, Windows XP, and Windows Server 2003 operating systems.

The QuickTime Movie Parser filter splits Apple® QuickTime® data into audio and video streams. It supports QuickTime 2.0 and earlier. The input pin connects to a source filter such as the Async File Source filter or the URL File Source filter. The Parser uses the AVI Decompressor or QT Decompressor filter to decompress QuickTime files. The filter creates one output pin for the video stream and one output pin for the audio stream.
